Claim that al-Zarqawi got aid in Iraq questioned
Guess what?! They lied again!

Administration had said that showed al Qaeda, Baghdad link
From Jim Clancy and Pam Benson
CNN
Tuesday, April 6, 2004 Posted: 5:48 PM EDT (2148 GMT)



The Bush administration has said Abu Musab al-Zarqawi fled Afghanistan for medical treatment in Iraq.


WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Senior U.S. officials told CNN on Tuesday that they now believe fugitive terrorism suspect Abu Musab al-Zarqawi did not have a leg amputated in Iraq, as the Bush administration had previously said.

Although the administration pointed to Iraq's medical assistance to al-Zarqawi as evidence of a link between al Qaeda and Saddam Hussein's regime, it's now believed that al-Zarqawi still has both
legs...

3. Another lie
You cannot take ANYTHING at face value that the administration says or they say through their dumb megaphones I like to call TV press.

Seriously, these dummies need to grow a spine. 'it is believed', believed by who? you? who believes this? You cannot allow them any more leeway.

I mean, damn, there are just certain topics the reporters need to bash their noses on. Iraq-Al-Quaida connection is just one of these topics.

I hate these people. If there is actually a real threat to our nation, many including me won't believe these pigs because they lie so damned much!
